Siebel Joins Prestigious Group of Leaders
Committed to Grid Modernization
C3 AI, a leading enterprise AI software provider, today
announced that its Chairman and CEO, Tom Siebel, has joined
GridWise’s newly formed Grid Infrastructure Advisory Council
(GIAC). GridWise Alliance Board Chair Gil C. Quiniones formed the
29-member advisory council to support the Alliance’s call for at
least $50 billion in Federal spending to modernize the nation’s
electric power transmission and distribution systems.
Natural disasters, the COVID-19 pandemic, economic crisis,
growing cyber threats, and the reality of climate change have all
recently served to highlight in stark terms the issues facing the
US power grid, and the pressing need for deep investment in this
essential public resource.
The GIAC and GridWise Alliance will work together with the Biden
Administration to define areas where investment in the electric
grid would be most beneficial to the nation. The Council plans to
draw from and amplify the best practices of the Alliance’s members,
highlight key policy and appropriation recommendations, and apply
its members to advocate funding for grid modernization.
“The U.S. power grid is a marvel of 20th century engineering,
and an essential national asset of incalculable value,” said Mr.
Siebel. “Investing today to modernize and harden the grid is a long
overdue national security imperative that will return significant
economic, social, and environmental dividends for generations to
come. We fully support this ambitious and necessary goal.”
